Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional thick straw mats are used as blocking material, then some protection is provided, but the mats have many gaps that fail to block harmful substances effectively and are bulky making them inconvenient to transport and store
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces bulky thick straw mats with a thin film blocking wall made of flexible material. This thin film structure maintains blocking effectiveness against harmful substances while being compact and convenient for transport and storage, directly resolving the contradiction between blocking effectiveness and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The blocking wall is constructed using composite material structure combining a thin film layer with support members. This composite design provides both the blocking functionality against harmful substances and the structural stability needed, while keeping the overall structure compact and easy to store compared to conventional thick straw mats.
2Reliability
If conventional straw mats are used, then some protection is provided, but they have poor fixing devices that require excessive manpower for installation and are prone to collapsing in wind and rain
Solution Approach 1:
The blocking wall system is segmented into modular components including the thin film blocking wall and separate support members. This segmentation allows for easier installation and adjustment, reducing the manpower required while improving stability through proper structural support distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the inadequate mechanical fixing system of conventional straw mats with a structured support member system that provides proper mechanical support. This substitution ensures the blocking wall remains stable against wind and rain while being easier to install and adjust.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If conventional products simply change surface material from straw to synthetic resin, then surface durability is improved, but the support and blocking structure remains the same causing excessive manpower requirements and easy collapse in wind
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite structure combining a durable synthetic resin thin film blocking wall with properly designed support members. This composite design provides both surface durability and structural stability against wind, resolving the contradiction between durability and reliability that plagues conventional products.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a two-dimensional surface material change to a three-dimensional structural solution by introducing properly designed support members that provide spatial stability. This dimensional change addresses the structural stability issue while maintaining surface durability.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional blocking walls are used, then some protection is provided, but they fail to seal and block gaps allowing pollutants and deicers to penetrate trees causing fatal damage
Solution Approach 1:
The thin film blocking wall provides continuous coverage that effectively seals and blocks gaps, preventing pollutants and deicers from penetrating to the trees. The flexible nature of the thin film allows it to conform to the structure and maintain sealing effectiveness, resolving the gap blocking issue.
Solution Approach 2:
The blocking wall is designed to be installed beforehand to create a protective barrier that prevents harmful substances from reaching the trees. This prior protection approach ensures complete sealing and gap blocking before any damage can occur.
